I wanted te host own matrix server, but it’s seems too complicated for the first time hosting. So, what do you recommend?

    What ever you want? I would start by creating a virtual environment out of the gate if you have some hardware. Find yourself a minipc and then install Proxmox. From there you can create a single VM to play with. I would start by installing Nextcloud AIO in a Debian VM once you have an environment to play in.

    (Side note: Make sure to follow good practices. Feel free to ask if you want more information)

      Not OP, but I’d like some more information about following good practices, please, especially in terms of “the best way” to make services available outside my lan (forwarding ports vs. a reverse proxy vs. a tunnel vs. a vpn – assuming some of those terms aren’t the same thing and I’m too much of a noob to realize).
